I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.

I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn’t supported on Linux.

I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.

Well that’s great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they’d get back to me when I could get access.

I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It’s never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I’ve used where it doesn’t sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.

I’m curious what do you find horrible about it? I use it all the time and have zero issues with it.

On a <5 minute video?

DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.

I sure wish we had more of them. There’s one in the entirety of our county, which is actually quite large. They’re so much better than four-way stops.

Yeah it’s definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.

I ran into it out in the wild at one of the grocers and was like…heyyyyyy that’s where that comes from!

I love Dave’s Garage! Great channel.

As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.

You’ve reached lemmy.one!

Tailscale all the way.

Haha that would be most the people on our team’s response for sure.

• git
• vim
• openssh
• openssl
• fail2ban
• curl
• byobu
• webmin (to give limited access to non-Linux help desk technicians)

Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.

YouTube Premium, Hulu, Spotify. I pay for these family plans. My wife and I use two seats, and our closest friends are on them as well. In turn, we get their Prime Video, Audible, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc. We all just split the cost.
